[12]aneN3-based BODIPY as a selective and sensitive off–on sensor for the sequential recognition of Cu2+ ions and ADP

A new [12]aneN3-based BODIPY sensor 1 showed highly selective and sensitive recognition of Cu2+ ions through fluorescence quenching effect in aqueous solution. The above copper complex solution can further be used as a turn-on fluorescent probe for detecting ADP with high selectivity, and also applied in imaging of living cells.

A novel [12]aneN3-based BODIPY sensor 1 can be applied in the sequential recognition of Cu2+ and ADP in aqueous solution and living cells with high selectivity and sensitivity.Figure optionsDownload as PowerPoint slide
